Bump
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
I just purchased a Turtle Beach Micro II for my nexus 7 car build. I'm having the exact same issue hence my posting on this thread. Did you figure out the problem? It's making me crazy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Went out yesterday afternoon with some friends, had about 80% charge on the battery. Probably an hour into my night, I went to check my phone (i always keep it in my front pocket), and to my confusion, it wouldn't power on. Okay...maybe somehow an app left running killed the battery (although I think they designed the phones not to do this). Fast forward about 4 hours, when we get back home. I plug the phone into the wall charger and instantly see an unfamiliar blinking red led light just above the charge port. The phone wouldn't power up, decided to check back later. 30 Minutes later, still nothing. 8 Hours later on charge, still nothing.

I've tried hard resetting, I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds, I've tried holding all three simultaneously. I guess it's just a dead phone.

I didn't root the phone, I didn't custom-rom the phone, no 3rd-party kernel...nothing...she was completely stock.

I called google, their support agent wasn't familiar with the phone. Said he'd get an RMA started, would email me the details he needed from me...never got back to me. I'm pretty pissed.

Waiting 5 weeks for a phone that dies in a month....not a happy camper.:mad:

UPDATE! FIXED IT

UPDATE #2

The phone "died" again. Took it apart again, pulled the battery, again. Factory Reset, the phones been on a charger since then and it is still on, we'll see how it lasts the day.

I'm not sure if there is any proof of this, but I read somewhere that benchmarking apps can cause this(?) I had Quadrant installed on my device shortly before this happened. Anyway, I'll let you guys know if I have any more problems.

UPDATE #3

I've lost it again. I don't know what to do at this point...

Before I proceed,

1) Are you comfortable working on electronics

if yes, continue to 2. if not, stop here.

2) Do you have the appropriate tools?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Yes and Yes, but I don't want to void my warranty on such an unknown problem. I'd rather see it replaced and they can research the problem on my phone and try to prevent it in the future so others don't have to go through this. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
Don't you just hate the fact that some random employee at Google will easily have access to all of your personal data left on the phone?

Oh well, at least you get taken care of.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
If

If the phone battery has been discharged too far then it becomes dangerous to try and recharge it as it can explode, this is why these sorts of safety mechanisms kick in sometimes.

Your only option is to send it back, if the battery safety device has been activated, it will be permanent and can only be fixed by a new battery

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Are you sure? Can anybody else verify this? What were you going to suggest doing? I'm having lots of complications with the RMA process because i'm currently visiting in England until the end of the month and then I'll go back to Germany where I'll be living for the next ~7 months. I got this phone last month when I was visiting home in the US. It's a total disaster and if disconnecting and reconnecting my battery is all I need to do (and I won't void the warranty), I'd prefer to give that a go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
oh and another thing...when I connect the phone to my laptop, the USB connect/disconnect sound plays every 5-6 seconds. So it seems like the phone is turning on, and then off again...over and over again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
I figured that all this red light stuff could be solved by a simple battery pull, but LG was too STUPID to realize that people need an accessible battery and now to even try it, you have to open the phone and unscrew the battery connector.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Is it really that easy? Will the warranty be voided?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Following the guide here:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1

I took it apart, disconnected the battery lead, and reconnected the lead...poof it boots!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
There you go. You've confirmed the fix.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
HI EVERYBODY.

I'm back. The phone has done it again. I've not got the patience to peel the back off, but it's gone into the blinking red light on charge/not booting up at all mode.

GOOGLE/LG, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, Send us all a new battery as well as the tools to replace it, and update the software, too. I'd also like $50 for the trouble, and please, fire every single "support technician" that thinks the sim card is behind the battery on a nexus (I've had that 2 times now from support)

The phone is great when it works, but it's "infrastructure" is absolutely god awful.

Will report back. Recommendations are welcome!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDig:
Did you let your battery drain all the way or something?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
Nope, I haven't done that. I just took it apart and reconnected the battery for the 3rd time. I really don't know what the f**k to do at this point. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this? Google will not allow me to RMA the phone because I bought it in the US and I live in Germany (they won't ship it to Germany for some **** reason).

ahhhhhh!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
bad battery is causing it...

Find a replacement.

You can also call LG instead of google. They may RMA for you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
It's lasted through the night off the charger on Franco's Kernel and CM 10.1

not sure what that tells us, but I'm happy!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
I'm 90% sure all of these weird battery problems + red light are because of stock charger!

Search around and see..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stejoo:
Good thing I hardly use that one :)

But instead of telling us to search, could you provide us with sources? Because this is interesting.

Somebody should compare the LG charger with another good quality charger, a Samsung or Nokia for example, using a scope.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Hmm its odd that it says it hasnt been updated since July. I owned the app previously so when I got my note 2 i tried out and it didn't work. I went and down loaded it again last night for the hell of it and when I started the app it said in the change log that it now works with JB media volume but not system sounds. So I started playing a song and went into the app and set the boost to 10 and it worked then I set it to 20 and it went up even louder.

Hi all,

I recently, erased all data on my SD card (using the "Erase SD card" option in settings > storage). Once this had completed the total space went back up to 7.4GB but available space went to 0.00B! I've rebooted the phone, unmounted and re-mounted the SD card and still available space is set to 0!

What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Sadra..:
Use a card reader and connect the SD Card to your computer, if it doesn't show up, use a partition tool to partition the SD Card, such as MiniTool Partition Wizard. :D
[General Questions and Answers] richierich052:
Thanks for the help. What an absolute ball ache though! Why is the "erase" option included if it's going to cause these issues? Would have been better off deleting each folder manually.

[HTC Rezound] clmowers:
Make sure your drivers are installed on the computer and that you are in the fastboot option in hboot, not just the bootloader. I know thats probably a duh, but just making sure. Also when you first connect it to the computer, run adb devices and make sure its seeing the devices.

Should I check to make sure adb can see the device before I pull the battery out to reboot into the bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
You can have it in charge only mode with the rom booted and everything and type "adb devices" and it should spit out the serial number.

Make sure you have USB Debugging checked in settings/developer options. Amd also make sure any antivirus type security business is turned off on your computer.

Hi, I would like to mention a little app that save me in my phone : it's named "Soft buttons light"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meco.sbl

It's a piece of software that enable the soft button lights to be syncronized with the screen backoung light.

So while your screen is active, the button remain illuminated.

it is very usefull for phones (like my thl W3 dual core) for witch the developper "forget" to bing screen and button lights...

With this app, playing/reading in the dark is no more painfull...

it seems that it is programed to let the button litted even 1 second or 2 after screen off, in case...

Thanks to the dev.

He also promize to add a little nice feature : use button backgroung light as notification led (so that bottun will blink when you have missed calls, unread messages...)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyonee:
Hey, everyone! I thought I'd share my experience of a rather strange issue.

Having used several Android phones earlier, it was natural for me to restore the WiFi access points with Titanium Backup after installing CM10.1. The only problem with it was that something went wrong this time and my WiFi was draining battery much more than it should. After some testing, I found out that if WiFi had been enabled and then disabled, it would still keep a "suspend_backoff" wakelock in the kernel and therefore not put the phone in deep sleep. I thought this was a kernel issue, but after testing various kernels, this proved not to be the case. A temporary solution was to turn off WiFi and then reboot. Once having turned it on, the wakelock would always be present. Also, turning on WiFi took like 40 seconds each time, which seemed way to long.

So later, I figured I'd take a look at the contents of /data/misc/wifi. There was a file called p2p_supplicant.conf containing all the networks also included in the usual wpa_supplicant.conf. So I thought something may be wrong here and I made a backup of all the files and deleted the whole "wifi" folder so it could be regenerated by the OS after a reboot. True enough, this happened. Then I copy/pasted the network bits but not the settings from the old wpa_supplicant.conf to the new and empty one. Case solved.

It could have been caused by some WiFi fixer app that I tried earlier, but I'm not sure, since the symptoms existed even before that.

So my conclusion: When initializing, rooting and configuring a new phone, just edit the wpa_supplicant.conf manually but don't touch the parameters at the top unless you know exactly what you're doing. Paste your networks inside and push it back to /data/misc/wifi. Then set the correct permissions (0660) and ownership (system:wifi) - then reboot. Another thing, I used to include my networks in /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, but it seems better to just leave that one alone, since there is trouble to be expected in case the two files have duplicate copies of the same networks.

[Nexus 10 General] ady_seray:
N10 has LED flash as well, and 4.0 bluetooth.
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
The resolution on the XZ is better than the N10 because it's more practical. At 10+ inches away you won't see the difference in PPI between the two displays. And the lower resolution (but still FHD) display will use less CPU/GPU power and battery. Speaking of battery, 6,000 mAh is pretty small for a 10.1" tablet with a S4 Pro CPU and FHD display. That could be the XZ's Achilles Heal. The rest of the specs are indeed impressive.
[Nexus 10 General] Gaugerer:
Stock Android and stock Nexus are so good and at such a low price that they will keep me happy whilst I receive the timely Android updates :)
[Nexus 10 General] 404 ERROR:
Naturally, a newer tablet will be better than an older tablet at least hardware wise or else it wouldn't sell. :P

That said, the Xperia Tablet Z will probably do better than the Nexus 10 in probably almost all aspects except development, text clarity, and possibly line-out (headphone) sound quality. Image clarity and such is much better suited for a 1080p screen unless there is a sudden surge and revolution of 1440p+ displays in this coming year.

According to numerous sources and GSMarena the nexus 10 has 3.0
[Nexus 10 General] dajogejr:
If I need 4G/LTE, I'll just tether it to my Verizon phone I already have.

Otherwise, I see nothing in that list which would cause me to jump ship or even give a second thought about.

More than happy with the design and engineering on the N10.
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
There's a similar debate about the value of PPI going on in the DNA forums. It matters less than you think. This is from that discussion...

And this is a good article explaining why pics and videos won't seem any sharper on a 720P, 1080P, or the N10's unique resolution display. And

everything

gets upscaled on the N10 which doesn't help with detail and image quality.

For most people, though, it won't matter. Photos are inherently fuzzy, so it won’t matter whether they’re viewed on a 1920×1080 or 1280×720 smartphone display; you’ll still see their imperfections. "Even the tiniest image detail in a photograph is always spread over more than one pixel," Dr. Soneira explained in a follow-up e-mail. "The image detail is never perfectly aligned with the pixel structure of the display." Videos are even worse: not only are they fuzzy like photographs, but the pictures are constantly moving. Even if the images were sharp, the human brain couldn’t zero in on content that’s appearing for only a fraction of a second on such a small display. "For ordinary viewing of videos, 1920×1080 is really not going to make a visual difference," adds Dr. Soneira.​

[Nexus 10 General] 404 ERROR:
I skimmed through your post and I apologize beforehand if I'm missing some nuances in your post, but I think you misread my post completely. The only thing that can really make use of a 1440p screen at this moment is text which is why I mentioned "text clarity." It is also why I said, if there is a sudden surge of 1440p displays, the N10's high resolution will be better than 1080p. This is simply because 1080p displays will be considered old tech and designers and such will move on to support 1440p displays. The chances of 1440p being adopted to be the standard this year is probably 0%.

I never said it mattered. In fact I always thought PPI is a gimmick and will always be a gimmick beyond 220ish.

Also, just to put it out there, I maintain a theme to up-res the icons on the N10 so those icons don't get upscaled; I'm pretty sure I know what drawbacks there are with having such a high resolution screen.

Another thing - you talk about image quality, but you quote someone talking about photos. Things that are drawn on a computer will be clearer than a photo by a long shot. Those types of images can take advantage of such a high resolution screen. Photography on the other hand really doesn't matter what resolution you view it on for the reason you quoted.
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
I just threw that info out there because I thought people would find it interesting; it wasn't directed at you per se. ;) And at 10" away text won't look any better on the N10 than it would on the XZ. And that has nothing to do with the display's themselves, it's all about why the human eye can discern. As an example, at that distance, text looks no worse on the N2's 720P display than it does on the DNA's 1080P display based solely on the N2's ability to achieve a subtense of 1 arcmiture at 267PPI. Only if the N10's display is closer to 1 arcminute (below it doesn't matter) than the NZ's would you notice a difference. Now if you hold it 5" away or look at it under a microscope you'll see a difference.
[Nexus 10 General] 404 ERROR:
You're right in that if you hold it 10" away you won't see a difference. Unfortunately not all people do and there will always be people who can discern that difference.

Sony is one of the most AOSP friendly manufactures out there so I doubt it. I am a Nexus guy for life but Sony builds some quality stuff and are good with updates.
